The ASUS Prime Z590M-Plus is one of just a small selection of micro-ATX sized models designed for Z590. It offers users a middle ground between the standard ATX form factor and the smaller mini-ITX. Designed as more an entry-level model, the Prime Z590M-Plus adopts a simple silver and black color scheme, with a black and silver, patterned printed PCB.
The ASUS Prime Z590M-Plus has one full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, one full-length PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots. There are three M.2 slots for storage, one with support for PCIe 4.0 x4 and two with PCIe 3.0 x4/SATA support. Oddly, the Z590M-Plus has five SATA ports, with four right-angled and one straight angled port; all five include support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 arrays. ASUS includes four memory slots, with support for DD4-5133 and a total capacity of up to 128 GB.
On the rear panel is one USB 3.2 G2x2 Type-C, one USB 3.2 G2 Type-A, two USB 3.2 G1 Type-A, and four USB 2.0 ports. It includes one RJ45 port powered by an Intel I219-V Gigabit controller, three video outputs, including DisplayPort, DVI-D, and HDMITM. There are also three 3.5 mm audio jacks driven by an unspecified Realtek HD audio codec.

I'm a bit surprised they went to an x8 3.0 link on the chipset instead of an x4 4.0 one, even if everything coming off of the chipset is still limited to 3.0 speed.QinX - Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - link
Might be because it makes routing the traces easier, they don't have to adhere to the PCIe 4.0 signal requirements. Downside would be that more pins are required.scottlarm - Saturday, January 23, 2021 - link

Other being quite boring platform , there is noticeable lack of M-ATX offerings.Chaitanya - Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - link
Also it seems like even with properly finned heatsinks Gigabyte Aorus master requires a fan to cool VRMs which is not a good sign.g85222456 - Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - link
